Do a search for Sunset Porsche. They have the best price for them new. The going price for the used ones is about the same as Sunset's price for new, even if you could find a used pair.......

Thanks for the referral but $559 for the whole set, there's gotta be a better price out there.

Manual mirrors are a little cheaper...

Also, there is a company on eBay selling replicas for less that 300. They say they fit 911, but they should fit your car also.

Andrew, I'll look on ebay, what's the company's name/user ID? I've searched all over the place and they're either wayyyyy expensive or snatched up too fast to move on them.

Ask and ye shall receive

Like I said, these are 911 ones, but I dont see why they would not fit.

Paul if you make cost effective manual aero mirrors for the 944 I will personally fly over there and kiss you on your place of choice. I have been begging for months for this product.

Andrew..... Powerwerks will be offering many products we have all wanted for these cars for many years. Myself being one of them! Benefits of owning your own company I guess!

Not sure of a date yet.... we have so many things in the pipe work and with the holidays it is making it hard to give a firm date. But it will be soon!

We are actually going to offer a wish list.... if enough people are interested in a product that is not on the market, then we will make it!

How about you save your kiss and buy me a ticket to NZ... its your summer time now right?
I miss the place.... I have and aunt and uncle there. I am English so many of my relatives moved to NZ or Canada. I haven't been to NZ for about 12 years!

I would love to see the WRC there........ maybe 2005, if the wife will let me that is!

Happy NY everyone.
Cheers,
Paul R

Yeah its amazing we get the WRC and Aussie touring V8'e etc. I dont think people realise how cool it is to have the WRC here. You should be able to buy your own ticket with the profits you will get from your venture! Let me know the price and availability of the mirrors. If you have not made them yet, and need firm orders, I will organise the numbers you need...

I'd be interested in the aero package if it becomes available.

If they are 911 aero mirrors (mounting base has a 965 part number), then they WILL NOT fit on a 944 door. They will need the proper 968 mounting base. I have seen where a few people have cobbled together a combination of the aero mirror and the old 944 flag mirror base to make this work, but honestly it looks like azz.

Andrew, if these fit (footprint) you are the man! I'm going to check with the folks at Exotic Motorwerks here in Phoenix to see and if so, they're sold.

Well, by Tif's comments they may not fit in the stock position, but they are just holes that makes the difference for mounting... drill new ones?

Hopefully Powerwerks delivers on a cost effective fibreglass version!

Hmmm.. You get the WRC and the Aussie V8's? Where are you located Paul? I would sell my soul and all my belongings to live somewhere the WRC AND!! the Aussie V8's raced. It would be great to see a Holden in real life rather than the rental car GTO here in America.
